    Brief Summary: GOD CARRIED US ON THE WINGS OF EAGLES (Ex19-04) references how the Jews scattered through GOSHEN(Ex09-26) quickly gathered to RAAMSAYTH(Ex12-37) to leave.

It would help if the reader first studied rule #5, contradiction and then read this Rashi. (However this Rashi (rule #1) is self contained and can be read independently).

Verse Ex19-04b discussing how God carried us on the wings of eagles states Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto Myself. Rashi notes that the underlined words, I bore you on eagles' wings, references verses Ex09-26, Ex12-37 discussing that even though the Jews lived in Goshen they exited from Raamsayth. Hence the Rashi comment The Jews were scattered throughout the land of Goshen (Ex09-26). Yet when they left they quickly gathered in one city, Raamsayth, and left from there (Ex12-37). The statement that God bore us on eagles' wings refers to this quick gathering from from all of Goshen to Raamsayth.

Text of Target Verse Ex19-04b Text of Reference Verse Ex09-26, Ex12-37
Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto Myself. Only in the land of Goshen, where the people of Israel were, was there no hail.... And the people of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot, who were men, beside children.
Rashi comments: The Jews were scattered throughout the land of Goshen (Ex09-26). Yet when they left they quickly gathered in one city, Raamsayth, and left from there (Ex12-37). The statement that God bore us on eagles' wings refers to this quick gathering from all of Goshen to Raamsayth.
